At first glance this one looked like an overgrown Anthmyia. But I think it's rather a Muscidae. Moved about a lot and had a (to me) very strange way of walking: it sort of floated over the surface, legs didn't seem to be moving.
What can it be?

First idea is very often the best : it is an Anthomyiidae, genus Eustalomyia, close to Anthomyia, but with a brown median vitta through the scutum. I can't count the number of av on hind tibia, but the arista seems short plumose, so it should be Eustalomyia festiva.
Stephane.

Thank you Stephane. Arista is definitely plumose (easier to see in high res.)

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
